Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change Extravascular Lung Water Index1 hour

EVLWI is calculated as ml of extravascular lung water fluid reported by VolumeView system (Edwards Lifesciences) divided by patient's body weight in kg. EVLWI will be measured at baseline and 1 hour post T3 installation to calculate change in EVLWI. Lower EVLWI values indicate greater treatment efficacy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification30 days

Outcome is reported as the number of participants in each arm who fall into each of 4 categories: 1 (no limitation in normal physical activity), 2 (mild symptoms only in normal activity), 3 (marked symptoms during daily activities, asymptomatic only at rest), and 4 (severe limitations, symptoms even at rest).

Number of Ventilator-Free Days30 days

Outcome is reported as the mean number of days participants in each arm did not require mechanical ventilation during an in-patient hospital admission.

Creatinine Concentration4 days

Outcome is reported as the number of participants in each arm with abnormally high plasma creatinine concentration (greater 1.21 milligrams per deciliter).

Glomerular Filtration Rate4 days

Outcome is reported as the number of participants in each arm with impaired kidney function, defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2.

Length of ICU StayBaseline to ICU discharge up to 30 days

Outcome is reported as the mean length of stay (in days) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for participants in each arm.

30-day Survival30 days

Outcome is reported as the number of participants in each arm who are alive 30-days post enrollment.
